Happy Days star sends fans wild as he reunites with Bond girl

Happy Days star Henry Winkler couldn’t have been happier to reunite with his former co-star and famous Bond girl, Jane Seymour, at a fan event in Knoxville, Tennessee. The pair were beaming at each other in the video posted to Jane’s social media account, which garnered thousands of likes and sent fans into a frenzy. 

While Henry was dressed in a light purple button-up shirt under a blue plaid flannel, Jane matched him in an electric blue dress. “I have just found my favorite person,” the actress began in the video as she addressed the camera. “We both got the memo in blue.”

“Except you look better in blue than I do,” Henry quipped. Jane kissed him on the cheek as they hugged and caught up at the event, nine years after co-starring in Sandy Wexler. 

“Some people simply radiate kindness, and Henry Winkler is absolutely one of them,” Jane wrote in the caption. “Running into him in Knoxville was the sweetest surprise. He brings such joy and light wherever he goes, and seeing him made me so happy.”

Fans couldn’t get enough of their sweet interaction, with one writing in the comment section: “TWO LEGENDS,” while another added: “Two absolute class acts!” 

Henry, who shot to fame in the ’70s thanks to his scene-stealing role as Arthur “The Fonz” Fonzarelli in Happy Days, has known Jane, who starred as Solitaire in 1973’s James Bond flick Live and Let Die, for decades, with the pair having come up in Hollywood at the same time.

They joined forces in Adam Sandler’s 2017 film Sandy Wexler, with Jane portraying housewife Cindy Marvelle and Henry starring as himself. Jane opened up about her connection with Adam in an interview with ABC News, sharing that she was delighted to join his film. 

“He lives literally at the bottom of where my house is. He has a home right there,” she said.

“My kids tell me they see him all the time. We get along really well. I told him, ‘I’ll do anything you want me to do.’ And his daughters are my biggest fans because I did an American Girl doll movie, ‘Saige Takes the Sky.’ But I had long gray hair as a grandmother. And Adam said, ‘My kids are so excited about you being in my movie more than anyone else. They watch your movie 20 times a day.'”

Henry also opened up about his close bond with Adam, with whom he has co-starred in The Waterboy, Little Nicky, Click, You Don’t Mess with the Zohan and Sandy Wexler.  

“He is whatever you imagine. He is wacky. He is different. He is a family man. He is loyal. He is funny,” Henry said on the Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa podcast. “He is an amazement. He has a vision. You know, when he directs, or he’s in a movie, he is in charge of every detail. There’s not a frame that gets by him. No matter what it is. I love him, and I respect him deeply.”
